Can you give me even one good reason?

You agreed to switch to single Battle.net account at any time Blizzard chooses to tell you so each time after the patch, when you click "accept" on the terms of service. They don't need any more reasoning for demanding it.

Potentially anyone can have any pet (without restrictions of discontinuation), pets don't even affect the game at all outside of being able to make gold off of em. QQ more, keep using your other pets if you want to be a unique snowflake.

The pet is a "thanks for listening and merging on time". For those people who for some reason wait until a month after the deadline to merge, they will not likely be able to get the pet.

A: Only existing World of Warcraft accounts that merge with a Battle.net account are eligible to receive the penguin pet. If you create a new Battle.net account after November 11 and merge an existing World of Warcraft account with it, you will still be able to receive the pet. However, please note that we plan to remove the ability to get the penguin pet at some point in the future.

1. That they won't be up all day?
2. They won't come online before you merge with Battle.net?

Offline as in not being able to play anymore on a non-battle.net account.

Isn't it obvious? They want everyone to transfer to battle.net already so they can finally decommission those old login servers that keep dying all the time. Also money.

Becuse battle.net is theire new gaming platform (community so to say) where you will have all friends and can chat with them whatever Blizzard game they are currently playing etc, and only idiots would not want to merge. So Blizzard are giving them a hand the hard way.
